What is an axillary thermometer?

An axillary thermometer measures body temperature by being placed under the armpit and is often used for children and babies. It's minimally invasive and convenient, but readings may be slightly lower due to perspiration and ambient air. Ensure accurate readings by following manufacturer instructions.

What are the characteristics of an axillary thermometer

Functioning

The axillary thermometer measures body temperature through the armpit using thermal conductivity. It's fast, convenient, generally reliable and accurate, but it's important to measure in a stable environment and after a wait time of at least 15 minutes post activity or hot drink for accurate results.

Accuracy and reliability

Accuracy of axillary thermometers depends on the quality of the device, proper use, environment, and time of measurement. High-quality devices used correctly in favourable conditions can yield accurate results, but they may be less accurate than ear or finger thermometers.

Advantages

An axillary thermometer has advantages such as convenience, ease of use, affordability, versatility for use in children & adults, and quick, non-intrusive temperature measurement. However, it can also give unreliable and inaccurate readings, and be unhygienic due to proximity to sweat glands.

How to use an axillary thermometer correctly?

To take the temperature properly with an underarm thermometer, it is important to follow these steps:

  1. Wash hands to avoid contamination
  2. Place the thermometer in the patient's armpit for approximately 2 minutes
  3. Remove the thermometer and read the displayed temperature

Axillary thermometers should be cleaned after each use to prevent cross contamination.

Consult temperature norms by age and sex to interpret results. Normal adult temperature is 36.5°C to 37.5°C, but readings below 36°C or above 37.8°C may indicate illness.

How to choose the right axillary thermometer?

Here are some recommendations for choosing the right axillary thermometer:

  1. Choose a model with an appropriate measuring range
  2. Choose a model that is easy to use and read
  3. Choose a model with a fast measurement time
  4. Select a model that is easy to clean and maintain
  5. Consider user reviews and comments on our marketplace
